Donaghy from Lattacrossan, Co Monaghan

[mhac]

I am researching a family for my cousin. Her ancestors are Donaghey, Donohue, or some variation from Lattacrossan in Co Monaghan.
Thomas Donaghy and his wife Mary McEntee were in House 6 in 1901/11 census and I presume maybe his brother James and wife Margaret Smyth were next door in house 7.
Thomas had a son Philip who married Bridget McGinnis in New York in 1899. Both Phillip and Bridget died young, Philip in 1916 and Bridget before that.
If any of this rings a bell with anybody I would be delighted to hear from them. I live in Waterford so I don't know this area at all

Thomas Donaghy and his wife Mary McEntee were in the 6th house enumerated in 1901/11 census and I presume maybe his brother James and wife Margaret Smyth were in 7th enumerated, which may or may not be next door.

** all info for all the children is the same as what is on Ellen Donaghy cert.

I found one birth for Thomas Donaghy in county Monaghan which may or may not be the one you seek. There are quite a few others but not in Monaghan. It may be that the records no longer exist or are illegible.

for Mary McEntee, I found 4 births in co Monaghan that have names corresponding to her children but there are other Mary McEntees in co Monaghan as well. If you wish to see all the births go onto rootsireland.ie(which is a pay per view site).
